Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Marlborough

This is a slim, very bright, tender sauvignon blanc with a fine nose of passion fruit, nettle and lime. It's very clean, fresh and balanced with a hint of sweetness and a lemon, dry, slightly coarse finish. Very good length. Score: 88 (David Lawrason, www.WineAlign.com, Jan 2013)
